Sons of Anarchy Season 7 Premiere: What to Expect After Season 6 Finale?
Are you suffering yet? It's been over two weeks since Jax Teller found his wife Tara dead on the floor of their home in the Season 6 finale of Sons of Anarchy. The episode, titled "A Mother's Work," scored the best ratings in SOA history with 5.2 million viewers. When the telecast (second airing) numbers are including the show was viewed an incredible 6.4 million times. What does series creator Kurt Sutter and the creative team behind SOA have in store for fans for the final season?
A power struggle will break out
If you remember, many Chinese gangsters were gunned down in Season 6 during a warehouse shootout. The International Business Times says that Season 7 will likely feature an attempt by the Chinese mafia to take control of SAMCRO's turf and this enact revenge.
"... they will be embroiled in a full scale war as Alvarez and Nero form an alliance with the Chinese mafia to take down August Marks and the Sons of Anarchy. There's a lot of power arrayed against them and while August Marks is a powerful figure he may find himself tested by the forces arrayed against him while the Sons of Anarchy is still in disarray particular given Jax's likely arrest in season 7."
Will Jax be charged with Tara's murder?
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly Magazine, Sutter said that Season 7 would pick up a few weeks after the final scene in "A Mother's Work." DA Patterson -- played by CCH Pounder -- will likely want to know how and why two people who had recently been in contact with Jax came to a bloody demise.
Regarding Jax and DA Patterson, Sutter mentioned this:
"I think procedurally they would definitely bring him in and at the very least begin the questioning process. So he would be taken into custody, being on the scene there, and then I'll -- I'm not quite sure how I'll want it to go from there. Is there a charge leveraged against him? And how does he respond to that? I'm still sort of playing with all that. (...) I didn't want it to end ultimately on a police beat, meaning I didn't want it to be about people getting on a radio and calling it in and blah blah blah. So, to me, I felt like there was that moment of shock and awe on her part, and she was sort of taking it all in. And the procedural stuff began once we got out of the shot. But I don't know if she feels like Jax is the one who killed Tara. I think she may think he's the one who killed Eli. But, regardless, I think Patterson feels a sense of betrayal: You made me a promise. I don't know what your part in all this is, but I'm looking at two dead bodies, two innocent people are dead as a result of their interaction with you."
